DUSHANBE, Tajikistan — As the Afghan government collapsed this week in Kabul and the United States scrambled to speed up its evacuation effort, hundreds of Russian armored vehicles and artillery pieces were clearly visible hundreds of miles away, on the border with Tajikistan.

They were part of a high-profile military exercise taking place just 12 miles from a Taliban position, and they were there, a Russian general said, to make a point.

National File – by Patrick Howley

NATIONAL FILE spoke to an active duty high-ranking Naval officer who revealed that U.S. Navy chaplains in the leftist Navy chaplain program are actively blocking sailors’ religious exemption requests for the controversial COVID-19 vaccines. Chaplains are supposed to serve as military religious ministers, but the chaplain system has become increasingly left-wing. The Joe Biden regime has inflicted a vaccine mandate upon the U.S. military, and the clock is ticking for America’s active duty servicemembers to try to get exemptions from the vaccine mandate.

Two of Kennedy’s surviving sons, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Douglas Kennedy, supported the release during Sirhan’s 16th appearance before the parole board, yet several of Kennedy’s other children have strongly opposed the move.

It is tempting to castigate most of the public as stupid, victims of a massive and effective propaganda war to coerce COVID vaccinations. But that, sadly, is the present situation. The forces of evil intimidation and authoritarian government have prevailed. Despite the many voices of courageous truth-telling physicians and medical researchers warning of the harmful health impacts of the vaccines, much of society is supporting the FDA Pfizer vaccine approval (with more approvals to come). No stopping mandates now. Continue reading “Trusting the FDA, taking Pfizer’s COVID jab, ensures America stays ‘compliant’ and ‘stupid’”

The US Supreme Court on Thursday night struck down a federal eviction moratorium that was recently extended by President Biden’s administration without congressional support.

The decision to end the pandemic-related eviction freeze came as a result of a legal challenge to the policy brought by a coalition of landlords and real estate trade groups. Continue reading “Supreme Court ends federal eviction moratorium”

Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says US troops will need to go back into combat in Afghanistan — as the region remains on high alert for more suicide attacks, with the death toll from Thursday’s atrocity soaring over 180, including 13 US service members.

“We’re going to have to go back in to get ISIS,” Panetta told CNN, calling Thursday’s twin suicide blasts by the reinvigorated terrorist group “Joe Biden’s worst nightmare.”  Continue reading “Leon Panetta says US troops will need to return to combat in Afghanistan”

The DC police officer who fatally shot Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt said his decision to open fire would not have changed even if he had known she was unarmed, in his first on-record comments since the unrest on January 6.

Speaking to NBC News in his first public interview on Thursday night, Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd defended his actions inside the halls of Congress earlier this year, saying he “showed the utmost courage” despite being “very afraid,” while insisting Babbitt was “posing a threat to the United States House of Representatives” when he shot her.
